HELP US HELP THE MONKEYS BY:

Monkey Town appreciates any other contributions in the form of donations, fruit and vegetables, plants, building materials, toys, blankets, ropes, heating bulbs, magazines, videos and books on wildlife (especially monkeys) for our educational section and school programme!

 
Monkey Town has 25 different species of exotic monkeys – all born in captivity. Some used to be lonely pets kept mostly in cages while others were rejected by their mothers due to the unfortunate fact that female primates raised in isolation seldom learn to nurture their young. At Monkey Town these discarded animals are reintroduced to members of their own species and eventually become part of family groups.

Many of the 25 species at Monkey Town are on the endangered list, mainly due to diminishing habitats, deforestation, the bush meat and pet traders. Monkey Town aims to make a contribution to the conservation and protection of primate species on the brink of extinction. You too can become involved and assist to provide a safe haven for these aggrieved monkeys. After all, we owe them a living – it was man who destroyed their natural habitat.

We need your help to help them! Join the Friends of Monkey Town by either adopting a monkey or by taking up membership.
